Melissa Ross: Vinyl Rules, Void Mag "Has Really Taken Off"

If you didn’t know, WJCT host Melissa Ross is a gosh-darn, North Florida treasure. After more than a decade in existence, her morning drive-time program on 89.9FM First Coast Connect is the platform for topical, local news and opinion. Ross’s skills as an interviewer and her curation of content–she’s also the show’s producer and books all the guests–have earned her guest hosting gigs filling in for Diane Rehm, as well as a laundry list of awards, including #1 Radio Personality in the 904 in this year’s Void Mag reader’s poll.

So when Ross calls, you best answer. Better yet: You meet her in her studio.
